Best Ever Smoky Barbecue Ribs

I’m huge BBQ lover, especially when it comes to some good ol’ sticky ribs. I actually have a life goal to visit one of the most popular bbq pits in the country – the Salt Lick in Texas. Guys, seriously it’s a dream and it will happen.

But for now, these smokey barbecue ribs will do. And oh my WORD, are they delicious.

But lemme tell ya about these ribs… They turned out sticky, sweet, with amazing crispy skin, and tender meat on the inside. They are kind of a dream come true.

I usually buy my BBQ sauces at Trader Joe’s because they always have the best selection. I recently found this Bold & Smoky sauce and let me tell ya, it’s one of the best I’ve had and pairs perfectly with the smoky paprika rub I used for this recipe! Oh mah gawsh.

Guys, get your napkins ready and maybe some baked beans for the side. You will love love love these ribs! If you make them comment/rate below and let me know what you think. I would love to hear your thoughts! 🙂

Best Ever Smoky Barbecue Ribs

Ingredients

4lbsbaby back pork ribs

1cupyour favorite BBQ sauce

Smoked Paprika Rub

2Tbspsmoked paprika

1Tbspgarlic powder

1/4cupbrown sugar

1/2tspsea salt

1tspblack pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300F. In a small bowl mix all of rub seasonings together. Lay 2 sheets of foil down on a sheet pan. Rinse your ribs with cold water and pat *completely* dry with paper towel (having your ribs be slightly wet will cause steaming which you do not want).

Lay ribs on foil and use all of your rub on both sides -- make sure seasoning is spread evenly. Use another sheet of foil for over top and tightly seal shut to prevent ribs from steaming/to bake properly. Bake for 2 1/2 hours.

Once time is up remove ribs from oven, take the top sheet of foil off. Turn oven broil on high and baste ribs with BBQ sauce, place back in oven for 2 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Repeat process until BBQ sauce is used up and ribs are crispy on the outside. Serve with your favorite barbecue sides and ENJOY!
